The Runner - Rerecorded

How many times have I felt down inside
The need to be loved by you
I wanted to show you how good it can be
If you would only show a little interest in me

Yes, you must, you just won't show love
That's the thing you're frightened of

You came into my life and turned my head around
And just as quickly you put me down
Now you don't want to know what I'm going through
'Cause just like you said it means nothing to you

Yes, you must, you just won't show love
That's the thing you're frightened of

There's little hope but the fool that I am
Still holding on to this dream of a man
The taste of his skin, the gentle touch of his hand
Is worth waiting for, so I must understand

Yes, you must, you just won't show love
That's the thing you're frightened of

I've got this pain eating away at my soul
And it's a battle for me that I just can't control
You created this fire but the flame got too hot
You turned and walked away, leaving me on the spot

Yes, you must, you just won't show love
That's the thing you're frightened of

Please don't run away, please don't run away
